| Try this: buy a cheap mechanical pencil with a big rubber grip. Pull off the grip, put it over the break, and tape it up really well. That should work. | |

| Ah, returns are nice. At least if you bought the item from any place but Best Buy. Then it's a pain. | |

| Friend had the same problem. He called logitech and they sent him a new pair without asking for his old pair back. With his old pair, he fashioned a piece of Aluminum to roughly the same curve of his head and put it on the outside of the cracked area, superglued the cracked area, and used zipties to hold the Aluminum on. It now disperses the bend between two areas and they don't have the problem.
The one flaw is that hairs get pulled by the aluminum. If you really have the time, he took the ear parts off, shrinkwrapped the headband, put the ears back on, and resoldered the wires. It even looks good.. He did all this to his new pair too, since one of his friend's cracked also. Including you, that's a 100% ratio of broken ones... I hope they fix that design flaw when they make them for the video iPods..
Note: If you aren't good at soldering and don't have time to try about a million times at the shrinkwrap to get it to fit the curve, don't bother with the second half :P
